16': The wind is playing havoc with the kicks at the moment and Ash Taylor's bomb just went backwards. The Titans almost got a good result out of it too! Manly survive.

7': Wow, Don would have been over in the corner but he ran straight into the back of Michael Gordon and was held up as a result.

Just a note on the first try scorer, Johno Wright. Apparently he was a very late inclusion due to an illness to Brad Parker. According to Fox League sideline reporter Andy Raymond, Parker was "throwing his guts up" during the warm up.

4': Great start for Manly and they're advancing up the field beautifully again. Uate undoes some good work though, giving a penalty away for taking the Titans player who was receiving the kick in the air.
